Who comes up with this crap anyway?

Nevermind. This was a stupid post that I posted in the heat of the moment. It just doesn't matter.

    Does this have something to do with the alcoholic beverage in your hand?

    No, no, I was holding it for someone else :wink:

    Except to the extent I am expected to help pay for issues, it's their own business how fat or thin some random person is. The jump from there to the lunacy that expressing an opinion is shaming is where it goes askew.

    If you're "allowed" to think I'm tall, I'm "allowed" to think you're fat. Or skinny. Or neither. Just because I don't want to force you, or even try to persuade you, to make different choices doesn't mean I have to think you're making smart ones.

    Meh, anyone who can eat more than me and stay fit/thin is a jerk. That's my view. YMMV.

    Agree!

    The topic i started had nothing to do with fat or thin shaming. It had to do with the opposition of the HAES movement which deludes people into believe they can be HEALTHY at any size. That 95% of diets fail and that intentionally losing weight is "bad". And that weight loss is unnecessary for health. edit: Even if someone is morbidly obese. **

    Also that mentioning anything regarding weight being unhealthy is both oppressive and that people who are not fat are "privileged".

    That is all.

    Honestly, I was ticked that I only made it to page 15 or so before it got deleted. Oh well. Saved me a lot of tl;dr.

    It was a dumb thread and wasn't very productive. I'm glad it's gone because all it did was make me pissy that I ever clicked on it.
